Chapter 632 (2/2)
”That's right,” Granny Witherwood sadly said, ”Do you know why the Fairy Clan, which was flouris.h.i.+ng, almost went extinct? It's because the Fairy Clan has always had low reproduction, but when the Nature G.o.ddess was alive, our reproduction levels were not any less than the human's. Everything was because the Nature G.o.ddess and Fairy Tree fell into a deep slumber. They are the origin of our Fairy Clan's power and life, and without the Fairy Tree's power, our Fairy Clan will become weaker and weaker with every generation, and it will become more and more difficult for each generation to give birth. Now, there are only a mere 2,000 Fairies left.”
”In that case, since the Fairy Tree has been reborn, does that mean Fairies will become stronger and will be able to give birth to the next generation more easily?” Ling Chen asked.
”That's absolutely correct!” A joyous smile appeared on Greenwood's face. He spread out his arms and faced the Fairy Tree, ”This is the aura and power of the Fairy Tree as described in the records. I can feel all of the cells in my body jumping and rejoicing. My Fairy power is also trembling in excitement as if it's a tender shoot about to grow in spring… this is great, my Fairy Clan is going to experience a revival!”
It was possible to increase the population by mating with humans by using their reproductivity to increase their numbers. However, Fairies born from unions with humans would no longer by pure-blooded Fairies. As such, the Fairy Clan would not make such a decision unless they had no other choice. Now, the Fairy Tree has miraculously reappeared, so the Fairies no longer had to go through with such a plan. The danger of becoming extinct was now gone.
”This is why we've been desperately protecting the Fairy Fountain to prevent it from being tainted by anything. This is because the Fairy Tree's seed was within the Fairy Fountain, and every generation of our ancestors has been hoping for it to grow. The Fairy Fountain is the last remaining pure water in the world, so every generation of Fairies needs to protect it to the death and cannot let any outsiders to come into contact with it.”
”Ling Tian, did you really not do anything with Cai'Er here?” Greenwood asked seriously. The Fairy Fountain wouldn't have appeared for no reason, and he knew that something must have happened.
Ling Chen thought about it, but he shook his head, ”After arriving here with Cai'Er, I only looked down at Shui Ruo from above, and Cai'Er was by my side the entire time. We didn't go anywhere else or touch anything, and we barely even spoke. Just as we were about to leave, a green light shot out from the water, and the Fairy Tree suddenly started to grow.”
Ling Chen thought about everything that had happened after he had come here. From when he had arrived to when he was leaving, his thoughts had been solely focused on Shui Ruo. He indeed had not done anything else, and he had barely talked. Oh… there was that when he looked away from Shui Ruo, a tear fell into the Fairy Fountain… but the Fairy Tree's growth surely had nothing to do with his tear, right?
”… Then why would the Fairy Tree suddenly grow? Could it be that something happened here before all of us came?” Greenwood muttered to himself.
”Hurry and look at Cai'Er - there seems to be something odd about her,” Ling Chen said. From when the Fairy Tree had broken out of the water, Cai'Er's body had started to flash with a pure, jade-green light. She seemed to be soulless as she stared at the Fairy Tree, her body hovering in the air but not moving at all.
Greenwood and Granny Witherwood saw just how strange Cai'Er looked, but they did not reveal expressions of shock. Granny Witherwood slowly spoke, ”Don't worry, the light on Cai'Er's body is because she's too close to the Fairy Tree and has been filled with Fairy power. In other words, her Fairy power is being awoken and evolved by the Fairy Tree, and she will become more powerful and pure. Any Fairy in front of the Fairy Tree will have this sort of reaction. Haha, it's been 10,000 years, and the Fairy Tere has finally reappeared. Cai'Er is lucky enough to be the first Fairy to be bathed by the Fairy Tree's power… hm?”
Before she had finished speaking, Granny Witherwood suddenly paused as a look of surprise appeared on her face, and the same was for Greenwood.
This was because the light around Cai'Er's body became even larger and brighter, forming a green halo of light that was around 5 to 6 metres wide, and her Fairy power also became even more powerful. This incredibly dense feeling of Fairy power caused Greenwood and Granny Witherwood to feel a suffocating feeling.
”What's going on?” The incredible power radiating from Cai'Er caused even the Mysterious G.o.d grade Greenwood to take a step back as he said in shock, ”Even if her power should increase under the Fairy Tree, it shouldn't be to such an extent… this power almost exceeds mine!”
Ling Chen was even closer to Cai'Er, and he was blown back 10 or so metres by the gust of Fairy power emanating out from her. Hearing Greenwood's words, he felt utterly shocked: she was almost as powerful as Greenwood? Although Cai'Er wasn't weak before, she was only a LV40 Celestial grade Fairy. Greenwood was a LV100 Mysterious G.o.d grade Chief!!
